OXCGN got its hands on some XBLA fun this week with the final release of Hydrophobia (to be released on 29th Sept on XBLA / PSN). It's a game that has been on and off for some time, but it finally has arrived, and looks a treat.

Come check out the review, as well as 20 ways to kill vid, as well as the Underwater Combat vid.

As always, well worth the click of a link to check it out.

I had been looking forward to this game from the moment I saw the Queen Of The World in Sydney Harbour with the Sydney Opera House in the background.

Yes, a rendered shot of course, but the sheer size of the Queen Of The World and the story really lit a fire in me more than most other games on offer at the time, and still. While I do like a good shooter, I’m also a great fan of the early Remedy Games Max Payne series.

They offered quite an interesting puzzle-set within the games that basically wasn’t one of the ‘follow-the-arrows’ style of games. Hydrophobia is very similar to those game styles. So you won’t find big arrows or a compass to guide you around by the nose to the next objective, and depending on what you do, the objective may need to be dealt with in a different fashion than first thought.
